DYOS 10.5: Plans Within Plans

Paint the Town Red
Paint the Town Red by @Thorvald (El Thorvaldo)

My second submission to DYOS X.ii. [link]

Marshal Brusilov made a grand total of one appearance in DYOS 10; he would be much more visible this time 'round. I'd also got my hands on a host of third-party add-ons since last he was seen, and here his 1985 Soviet-era garb is replaced by a modern VDV-esque camouflage scheme.

The line at the end about Russians paradropping on the North Pole was based on news that summer of a stunt planned for April 2010. I don't know if it actually happened; either way, I forgot to follow up on it.

The smoke and fire was achieved through careful placement of ammo trucks set to such low health they would explode seconds after mission's start. In the far left of Panel 4, one can see a truck I'd placed, but forgot to detonate.
